TWIX COOKIES RECIPE

If your favorite candy bar is a Twix then you are going to love these shortbread TWIX Cookies!
I pretty much love any candy bar that has caramel in it.  I would have to say that my all time favorite is a Milky Way but a Twix candy bar runs a close second.  So if you like caramel too, you are going to love these cookies.

The cookies start off with a buttery, flaky shortbread base then topped with caramel and finished with chocolate. I need to warn you that they are a very rich cookie so make sure you have some nice, cold milk on hand! Perfection!

TWIX COOKIES RECIPE



INGREDIENTS

• 1½ cups softened butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 15 oz caramel **See notes
• 2 cups milk choc chips
• 2 tsp shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream butter and sugar together. Add your vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to ½ inch thick.
4. To cut cookies you can use a biscuit cutter or I just used a small glass that was 2 inches wide.
5. Place round cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
6. Bake at 350 for 14-16 minutes.
7. Let cookies cool.
8. Melt caramel and spread the caramel over the cooled cookies.
9. Let caramel cool completely.
10. Add your shortening into the chocolate chips and melt in the microwave. Use a microwave safe bowl and watch so that the chocolate does not burn.
11. Spread melted chocolate over cooled caramel.
12. Let chocolate set before serving.
13. Do not put in the refrigerator as it will discolor the chocolate.

NOTES

• I use Peter's caramel which comes in a 5 lb block. You can just cut off what you need, melt it and it's ready to go. If you use the Kraft caramels, follow the instructions on the bag for melting.
